Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic devices only display a caller's phone number and name during a call request, failing to provide status information, requiring separate applications for data sharing, which hampers speed and usability.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that transmits and receives screen display information to control the user interface during call requests, allowing for the display of status information and enabling data sharing without the need for additional applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If only caller's phone number and name are displayed during call request, then the display is simple and clear, but the recipient cannot identify the caller's state

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecaller state informationVSAvoiddisplay information structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple types of information (caller's state, screen display information, and basic contact details) into a single integrated display interface. This allows the recipient to view comprehensive caller information including real-time screen content without requiring separate applications or complex multi-step processes, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The call request interface is enhanced to serve multiple functions simultaneously: displaying basic contact information, showing real-time screen display information from the caller's device, and providing context about the caller's current state. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate applications for information sharing while maintaining interface clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If separate application is used for data sharing, then data sharing capability is provided, but the speed and accessibility of information exchange deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation exchange speedVSAvoidinformation accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines data sharing functionality directly into the call request interface, eliminating the need to switch to separate applications. Screen display information is transmitted and displayed within the existing call interface, allowing users to share and view information during the call setup process itself, thus improving both speed and accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

Screen display information is prepared and transmitted in advance during the call request phase, before the actual conversation begins. This preliminary sharing of visual context allows recipients to understand the caller's situation immediately, accelerating information exchange without requiring additional application launches or setup steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate application is executed for additional operation during call, then additional functionality is provided, but usability is lowered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadditional operation capabilityVSAvoidusability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The call interface is designed to handle multiple operations within a single unified application. It can display screen information, share data, and manage call functions without requiring users to switch to separate applications. This multi-functionality maintains ease of use while providing versatile capabilities during the call process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
